Parlay 3, 2024
Screen print, archival inkjet, and collage on Lanaquarelle with book cloth, Kozo, and Arches 88 Signed and numbered
36 x 24 in 91.4 x 61 cm
Edition of 30
This vibrant work presents a dynamic composition of layered figures rendered through Adams's signature collage technique. Bold geometric shapes in saturated hues of orange, yellow, and blue intersect with carefully rendered portraits, creating a rhythmic visual dialogue between abstraction and representation. The mixed media approach combines screen printing with archival inkjet and hand-applied collage elements on fine art papers including book cloth, Kozo, and Arches 88, resulting in rich textural depth and dimensional complexity across the thirty-six by twenty-four inch surface. Adams continues his celebrated exploration of leisure, identity, and Black visual culture through this 2024 edition. His innovative printmaking process showcases the technical mastery that has positioned him among the most sought-after contemporary artists working today. The work exemplifies his ability to merge modernist formal concerns with culturally resonant imagery, making it an excellent addition to collections focused on contemporary figurative work and African American artistic practice.
